My fix: Underclock my computer

About this fix

Every computer nerd knows about "overclocking". Overclocking is, to be brief, pumping more power through your computer in order to force it to run faster. After literally melting a stick of RAM inside my computer, I realized how stupid and wasteful the endeavor was, and thought it would be fun to do the opposite.

Sure, some stores sell "green-PC's", but this is a buzzword typically used to sell weak, old machines that are simply "green" because they aren't powerful and thus don't need much electricity.

I am planning to take my beast of a machine, which is used for gaming and processing HD video (both very intensive) and try to get it to operate on as little electricity as possible! This will cut energy costs and save electricity.
